Halloween 2012 FUN!

One of the "holidays" that most face painters look forward to is Halloween and I have to say that I completely agree!!! It is such a fun and memorable occasion where pretty much anything goes! I was asked to work at a kids' Halloween Party this weekend and I am not sure who had more fun, the kids or ME!!! They were all sooo adorable in their costumes and I just had such a great time enhancing their look :) Here are a few pictures from yesterday's event:

The CUTEST Princess EVVVEEERRRRR!!!! 

Since I always like to prepare before an event that has a particular theme, I put the following portfolio together to provide some ideas for designs. But of all of these, I think I only painted the pumpkin and spider designs. Most of the kids told ME what to do, which is completely fine because they are my customers...and I do as they say! :) :) :)

Finally, a very special person who has supported me since I started face painting requested that I paint a modern-warrior look to compliment her costume. Inspired by some other designs we found on Youtube, I created her make up below. For being the first time I ever did something like this, I was very pleased with the final results. She got a ton of compliments...I mean, she's such a beautiful person to begin with that she truly was the perfect model for this look!

Pink Party for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Yesterday I had the opportunity to do a little bit of painting at the Pink Party hosted by the Society of Women Engineers at UIC. The purpose of this event was to raise breast cancer awareness among female engineering college students. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this was the perfect venue to host an event of this nature and I was very proud to be a part of it!

These are some of the designs I had specifically worked on for this event:
